The Boing Boing Egg

The Boing Boing Egg

WALT...
- I am learning to conduct a fair test with a range of variables

We were put into groups of ether two or three people and find an experiment to show what we have learnt about fair testing. When we found an experiment we all agreed on we found the materials we needed to conduct the experiment. Once we did the experiment and had all our data we had to put it on a board showing what we did to do it. It was fun and challenging trying to count how many times the egg bounces.

Next Steps: Find a better surface to show how the egg bounces
What I Enjoyed: Bouncing the eggs that had been socking in vinegar for 4 days
What I Found Challenging: Gluing everything onto the board.

        When finished work students should be allowed to play computer games

        When finished work students should be allowed to play computer games

        WALT...
        - I can write two well devolved paragraph about my topic.
         - I can research my topic by asking a question, searching for sources and putting the information I have in my writing.

        we had to write a persuasive essay on one of four topics miss Sutherland picked out for us, there was 1) Year 7&8 students should have an afternoon break 2) We should learn a language at school 3) We should have Summer Sport Tournament 4) We should be able to play computer games after we finish our work. i chose number 4 because I like playing computer games so i thought it would be fun to write about it.

        Next Steps: research for more ideas
        What I Enjoyed: looking up the pictures to show some of the games that are educational.
        What I Found Challenging: writing the information I found in my own words.

        Sometimes kids just want to play, a break from work. There are many games to play and some are
        educational. Letting kids learn while having fun is a great way for children to learn, what do you
        think.

        When there is lots of work kids get bored. They would just like a break, a time to play games time
        to have fun and enjoy themselves at school making them want to come. Sometimes they just need
        to have time to play games to help themselves get back on track and continue learning.

        Some games are educational but also fun making kids want to play and learn. There are lots of
        educational games around the corner and lots of good ones like education academy which is a
        game where you can go on adventures and compete quests by yourselves or with friends, you can
        even customise your character to fit your personality.  

        Playing computer games after work helps students learn more and want to come to school to learn
        and finish work so they can play more games. So when they want to come to school it makes it
        easier for parents to get them ready or get them to school and easier for teachers to teach
        because the children can’t wait to start, it is very motivating, so they can finish and then play
        more.

        Research shows that games like education academy has helped kids learn while having fun and
        parents are happy that they signed their children up for it. Education Academy is an amazing
        game the helps children want to learn because they get to learn while having fun.

        Now you can see that there are lots of benefits to playing computer games after work, thank you
        for reading this essay.
